The UK District Energy Association Associate Member: Aecom Limited

AECOM provides best-in-class services for clients across the public and private sector. In the UK and Ireland, their history goes back to the early 20th century.

They work with clients in a distinctive way – a way which is collaborative, flexible and bespoke. They look beyond the nuts and bolts and are well placed to find the best solutions for any scheme, from conception through to delivery, and help to maximise its potential.

AECOM are committed to a low-carbon world and resource efficiency. They are equally committed to social equity, and have a strong focus on the quality of stakeholder relations and the involvement of local communities.

Energy

AECOM assists clients across Europe to cut carbon emissions and develop sustainable sources of energy. They are committed to the European Union's target of sourcing 20% of energy needs from renewable sources by the year 2020, and offer expertise in energy planning, environmental and economics, energy efficiency and carbon management, hydropower and dams, thermal and nuclear, wind and solar, and transmission and distribution.

They contribute to driving energy policy in Europe, particularly in relation to buildings, and to integrated and development scale energy efficiency. They have a strong track record in renewable energy generation, pre-planning and environmental assessment and post planning project delivery. When you work with AECOM, you also have access to all their knowledge and resources.

They are a leader in the field of strategic assessment of marine energy proposals, and uniquely to AECOM, they have the capability to consider waste to energy projects on an EPC basis in Europe.

Environment

Understanding that effective environmental management contributes to a society's quality of life, AECOM are committed to helping clients make proactive environmental management an integral part of their daily operations.

AECOM has proven success in helping public- and private-sector customers solve challenges in air, water and land quality, waste management and environmental planning, compliance and cleanup. For assistance with assuring regulatory compliance, developing pro-active environmental management programs, siting a treatment, storage or disposal facility or cleaning up a contaminated property or waterway, AECOM offers the environmental expertise to achieve strategic goals. Natural resources will be conserved, environmental risk reduced, communities protected, and goodwill built with critical stakeholders.

Clients include industrial and commercial companies; government agencies (municipal, regional and national), institutions, and public and private utilities. They have challenged AECOM to resolve some of the world's toughest environmental problems, and we've delivered the required results at every stage of the projects.

Every day AECOM is helping customers take positive steps to reduce environment-related risks and liabilities; and while the environment is everyone's concern we make it their priority.

Government

AECOM partners with the public sector at all levels, throughout Europe. In the UK, they are engaged with many of the country’s largest public-funded projects including the London 2012 Olympic Park and its legacy development; Crossrail; and HS2.

They are working for national and local government in the education, healthcare, residential, transportation and cultural sectors. They understand the challenge of delivering complex and sustainable developments under the dual pressures of shrinking budgets and intense public scrutiny.

They offer multi-disciplinary teams. They include engineers, asset managers, planners, project and cost managers, economists, environmental specialists, scientists and programme managers. Their teams work with clients to maximise the potential of every scheme, within tight deadlines and budgets.

They have reflected on our recent experience in some thought leadership pieces published in Civil Service World. The topics covered range from working towards a leaner, greener government and infrastructure, through to learning lessons from the water industry and the Olympics and the real value of collaborative working.

Program, Cost, Consultancy

Our Program, Cost, Consultancy team focuses on a solutions-driven approach to deliver the best outcomes for clients investing in infrastructure, property and construction across a variety of sectors and markets.

We aim to be the first point of call for clients investing in the built, natural and social environment, working with clients from the earliest possible opportunity. Our specialist capabilities work towards adding value through every stage of the development process, as well as post completion, extending into the operational life cycle.

Programme Management

AECOM's programme and project management experts have the skills and knowledge to manage risk and apply creative problem-solving throughout all phases of projects and programmes of any scale.

They have drawn on their many years of experience to put together a portfolio of services relevant to the relevant markets, and employed some of the best people in the business to deliver them. Their core services are project, cost and construction management, along with a range of specialist local services in the countries in which we're based.

Working on a range of projects in sectors including commercial offices, large-scale residential developments and retail centres to industrial manufacturing facilities and boutique hotels, their teams are recognised as skilled leaders in their field with robust client-focussed systems.
